Obama's election was indeed a freak occurrence fueled by anti Bush sentiments. Today many who voted for Obama wonder what the heck they did and can't wait for the chance to correct their error. Even honest liberals know and admit that Obama is a disaster.

No, this isn't true. This is something you read somewhere on the internet.

Firstly, Obama's popular amongst evil liberal cunts who hate America and its freedoms ('liberals') and secondly he's been a pretty good leader in the circumstances (the ruinous state of America after eight years of Republican governance.)

Why would anyone want to listen to you. You won't even acknowledge that this economic downturn started during the Bush years!

You just blather on about what the right says with their talking points. If you're going to talk about these issues you have to look at everything. Not just Obama ( and notice I am talking about him by using this point ).

Can you do that? I don't think you're capable. So if you can't have a dialog and are just talking at people not with them why bother?

The root causes of this economic downturn date back to long before the Bush era. But you'd have to actually look outside the partisan sandbox to understand that.

No question Obama inherited a full plate. I've never said that he didn't. My concern is that Obama's "solutions" do nothing but make the problem worse.

The oil spill caused massive unemployment on the Gulf Coast so Obama makes it worse by putting a blanket moratorium on operations, putting many more out of work. This is just one example of his day to day failure to make good decisions. Blaming Bush won't help. Good decision making going forward will.

The far left will continue to support him, no doubt. The far left can't keep him in power, however. Look for Democrats to distance themselves from him the way Republicans distanced themselves from Bush in the later years. Obama is just too far left to be supported by mainstream, voting America. The buzz he created during the election is over. Don't look for massive turn outs for the Dems in November. Conservatives tend to be far more persistent than liberals.

There is demonstrated record now of the Obama administration blaming all its performance issues on the prior administration rather than taking responsibility for the actions it itself caused in relation to the economy. No denying that the recession was in place when Obama came to office; many presidents come to office in poor economic times. Obama on campaign promised to relieve the recession; that was a clear campaign promise. President Bush himself, years earlier, came to office amid a recession. Now, however, the nation sees the actions Obama has taken in relation to the recession are making the recession worse. The stimulus, designed to remedy unemployment, actually made unemployment worse, driving the 5% unemployment under President Bush to the 9.5% - 10% unemployment seen now. Moreover, Obama has demonized the private sector through a myriad of proposed regulations, forcing small business to delay or cancel hiring small business typically does through investment. Additionally, the tough regulations the Obama administration has forced on the banks has dried up credit normally extended to the private sector, severely impacting small business expansion. Lastly, by not extending the Bush tax cuts, the Obama administration will cripple small business that will suffer innumerable new taxes it can not afford. All of these actions come amid a rapidly growing federal government this nation cannot pay for. So when the Obama Administration and its advocates try to blame the prior administration for its failures, the reality of its actions are known by Americans.

Please name one regulation that has impacted small businesses.

When did credit dry up?

Name one small business which did not hire because of the reasons you mentioned.

Do you own a small business?

Do you employ people (who have enjoyed the lowest payroll tax since 1945?)

OMG! Where to start? There are literally thousands of new Obama regs that negatively impact small business... How about the most recent? Here's a story that specifically documents how the recent financial reform will translate directly to impacting small business in a negative way =>

Financial reform to impact small business, consumers
BY MARY WARD
July 19, 2010http://www.fwbusinesspress.com/display.php?id=12950However, S. 3217, which passed in the U.S. Senate on May 20, contains 1,500 pages of often arcane new financial regulations that will undermine the ability of traditional banks to provide credit and help create jobs in their communities. Though the bill was created to reform Wall Street, it actually imposes tremendous new burdens and restrictions on traditional banks, which had nothing to do with causing the financial crisis and, instead, are critical to our economic recovery. For consumers, the bill translates to higher credit costs, fewer banking products and a loss of privacy.

Name one small business which did not hire because of the reasons you mentioned.

How about the small business that Obama himself used as a stunt prop during his campaign? Caterpillar Inc.? This was the same company Obama used as prop for his stimulus that 1) is not rehiring and 2) claims the recently-passed ObamaCare regs will directly impact them to the tune of $100 million.

Do you employ people (who have enjoyed the lowest payroll tax since 1945?)

Yes; we employ less than half the employees we did in 2007, most of the staff let go in the fall of 2009 and earlier this year due to economy. Your reference to payroll taxes is not only wrong it is laughable.

More to the point => You really know nothing about taxes. It would help if you would read about what is really happening, Wormhole, so people don't laugh at your ignorance. The references I have posted, documented with links, show you have no clue on this topic and are denying reality... The U.K. socialized health plan is crashing fast. ObamaCare foillows the U.K. socialized medicine plan architecture and will also fail badly.

So this is how you name a regulation by quoting "will" not "has" or "is" undermining...? Very intelligent.

The question was "when did credit dry up?" and the answer is: September 2008

In the healthcare bill the feds now will give you student loans. Beautifully ignored A+

Great answer using again "would" not "has" or "is" costing (costed) your precognitive abilities are astounding you should have your own TV show.

You are confirming that Bush killed the economy. Since at that time none of the new policies were in place.

Payroll tax is the lowest since 1945 simple fact.
If you don't think so prove me wrong or carry your ignoramus title with pride.

The US does not have socialized healthcare besides medicare. Thanks again for confirming your ignorance.

None of the references are actually answers to my questions. They are predictions which may or may not happen. None of my companies, all small businesses have lost one single job. I have hired more help and my business has expanded. This has enabled me to invest into my community and and help other businesses make it through hard times. You guys just must be a bit, let's say, not so talented at what you do.

So this is how you name a regulation by quoting "will" not "has" or "is" undermining...? Very intelligent.

Interesting tact Worm; ignore the point I was making and concentrate on grammar usage! YOU ASKED for an example of regulation hurting small business: I CITED IT - financial reform impacting small business. Try to address at least what YOU asked for.

See previous post; we employ less than half the employees we did in 2007, most of the staff let go in the fall of 2009 and earlier this year due to economy. In short, we could whether the recession downturn that presented itself in the fall of 2008 - Obama's fixes have hurt the company and forced us to divest staff and not hire new ones and prevented expansion.

President Bush addressed the recession of 2000 by tax cuts that solved the economic downturn; Obama has made the recession of 2008 far worse. Simply look at national unemployment that the Obama Administration has doubled - 5% to 9.5 to 10%.

So. What would those good decisions be? How would they be different from say Bush who was the president when it reared it's ugly head?

Remove limits on oil and gas exploration so that this country can harvest the energy it needs to prosper

Return common sense to our environmental and labor laws

Reduce (not raise) taxes for Americans with the means to spend and hire this economy back to health. Government spending is not the answer.

Repeal that horrid health bill

Either decide to win the wars or get out of them.

They're shifting the tax burden back onto people who can best afford it so those who can't can spend more helping bring the economy back to health. You have to tax someone otherwise how are you going to pay for things ( MJ chimes in with his barter plan )?

What specifically don't you like about it?

Get out as these were useless boondoggles back when Bush was in office.

These things would right ( pun intended ) the country? And funny that it really doesn't sound any different than the Bush approach. Remember that was part of my question as he was the one in office when things went south.

Hmmm..jimmac will remind us all that Obama isn't really to blame for anything because it all started with Bush. Them jimmac will accuse anyone who criticizes Obama of being sharply partisan (while implying he is not) and wanting to go back to Bush's policies. Then jimmac will invoke some "friends I know" or some "guy I work with" or Paul Krugman. Finally jimmac will close with "well, I'm not the only one who sees it like that" perhaps with some randomly selected poll or article that maybe (but probably not really) seems ti validate this claim (in his eyes anyway).

BTW...you never really clarified what you meant by:

You know I'm wondering why you're protecting CM? Can't he answer for himself? Maybe the two of you could get together in the PMs and you could coach him? Be sure and tell him you didn't like Bush either now!

No. I know you just like to hear yourself talk. And yes this is a public forum. Given that if I pose a question to someone else specifically I'm not obligated to respond to hecklers.

Now responding to a post of yours = heckling. You are priceless! So then tell me: specifically referencing me (implying something I might or did say) and then failing to follow through on follow up questions is? Evasive? Baiting? Taunting? Trolling? Gutless?

More like a pissing contest. My dogs do the same thing. " I was here! No! I was here! ".

Playing the childish game with you really gets tiresome. Do the mature thing MJ and let CM answer for himself.
